Kind of a strange write up for the premise of the article but still I'll take it.

Bossi's take: You know what, I wouldn't be able to say that I'm being completely honest if I didn't mention that I sometimes go a bit back and forth in my own mind when it comes to Jordan Hawkins. The Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha shooting guard is a long and explosive athlete who has a pretty looking jump shot. He makes things look easy.
However, there is a fine line between making things look easy and taking it easy and that's where I struggle sometimes with Hawkins. But, at the end of the day he produces pretty regularly and I'm going to lean towards the positive outlook and just believe that he makes things look easy. After all, I've known his coach at DeMatha, Mike Jones, for years. He's one of the best coaches in America and I've watched his teams long enough to know that Jones wouldn't let Hawkins get away with anything less than full effort.
Sure, Hawkins needs to get a bit stronger and he could tighten up his ball handling a bit. But at the end of the day he's got good positional size, a frame to grow into, deep range on his jump shot and he's a live-wire athlete. It's hard to bet against guys like him.
